    I bought a slabbed coin from a Chinese FPG/TPG (BAO CUI COINS RATING) because I collect slabs from different issuers. It was a junky cast "Taiping Tongbao" and I paid under $25 including shipping (from California).

    It has a certificate number and a QR code - about what we expect from our US TPGs today.

    I don't expect people to click on a random Chinese redirector link, so I won't give it here, just some screenshots. Bear in mind this is a $25 slabbed coin.

    There are all the usual descriptive data that you see for a US TPG:

    There are front and back images of the slabbed coin (NGC does this, PCGS no).

    There is a three-screen description of the general coin - like PCGS CoinFacts or NGC Coin Explorer.

    So far nothing different. BUT there is a rotating 360-degree image of the actual slabbed coin:
